Coming to iPad · No subscription · One-time purchase
3D modelling for your iPad.
You buy it once.
That’s it.
Partless is an offline iPad 3D modelling app built for people who make things — not for design firms with software budgets. Apple Pencil-native. STL export built in. No monthly fee. No cloud lock-in.
No spam. No commitment. Just early access when we launch.
01 · The pattern
Sound familiar?
- 01
“My cheapest 3D printer cost half the annual subscription of the software I use to design for it.”
- 02
You found an iPad 3D app. It’s $38/month. You closed the tab.
- 03
You tried the free tier. It exports at low resolution. The good STL export is paywalled.
- 04
You cancelled. Now half your files are locked behind a subscription you no longer have.
- 05
You do this occasionally — evenings, weekends, when a project needs a part. You don’t need an enterprise CAD licence. You need a tool that stays bought.
We built Partless because we had the same problem.
02 · The thing
What Partless is
An iPad app for 3D modelling. Designed from scratch for Apple Pencil. Works completely offline. Exports STL files ready for your slicer. You pay once, it’s yours — no subscription, no renewal reminder, no file hostage situation.
We’re building it for people who 3D print for fun, for cosplay, for tabletop, for product prototyping, for the love of making things. Not for engineering firms. Not for architects billing by the hour.
03 · The build
What makes it different
One-time purchase
Pay once. Get every future update. No subscription, ever.
Fully offline
Model on a plane, in a shed, wherever. No internet required.
Apple Pencil native
Built around the Pencil from day one — not bolted on as an afterthought.
STL export, included
Export print-ready files directly. No paywall on the thing you actually need.
For reference
What modelling on an iPad currently costs you.
04 · The signal
You’re not the only one
The thread on Shapr3D’s own forum titled “Why is there no plan for hobbyists?” has over 9,000 views and 52 replies. The top review on the App Store calls out that a cheap 3D printer costs less than the annual software subscription.
We read all of it. Partless is the answer we kept wishing someone would build.
